What is one sixth add one quarter?

Answer 1

To add two fractions together, you first need to make sure they have the same denominator. In this case, that can be done by multiplying top and bottom of the first fraction by 4 to give us 4/24. You can also multiply top and bottom of the second fraction by 6 to give 6/24. Thus the question is 4/24 + 6/24, which you can add by adding the numerators. That gives us 10/24, which can be simplified to 5/12.
